Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Miami Dolphins suffered a heavy defeat against New York Jets in the marquee game at London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday. It leaves them with three defeats out of four games this season; and it has led to coach Joe Philbin being fired on Monday.
Warning signs were already evident during the post-game conference on Sunday where Dolphins’ linebacker Ndamukong Suh stormed out.
NFL games being played abroad is a relatively new initiative attempting to spread the sport to a global audience.
But, for most Britons, football is played with a spherical ball, 22 players and two nets. The word ‘soccer’ is considered an insult and NFL is perceived as being too slow and having too many rules.
The lack of interest in American football is best illustrated by the response of the British PR worker above. His facial expression to Suh leaving and the conference in general is just so wonderfully British.
